I. Description of the
course. Sp 202 is the fourth course in AC's
Spanish language program. This course focuses on communicative skills. Class
time will be devoted primarily to discussions of readings, oral practice,
listening comprehension practice, and vocabulary acquisition. Students are
expected to review grammar rules and forms outside of class. Most of the grammar
encountered in this class will not be new to you. This is because the purpose of
the course is not to learn new rules and forms, but rather to learn to apply the
rules in communicative situations.
There are seven communicative goals for this course:
- describing and comparing in detail
- narrating in the present
- narrating in the past
- narrating in the future
- giving advice, expressing opinions and reacting to dramatic events and situations
- talking about likes and dislikes and explaining why
- hypothesizing about both personal and impersonal topics
In both oral and written work, you will learn to support your opinions clearly and convincingly. The course will be taught entirely in Spanish.
II. Attendance. Regular attendance is especially important in language classes. Students may make up any exam, quiz, or other assignment only if the absence occurs as a result of participation in an official Austin College athletic or other event, a serious illness, or some other unavoidable circumstance beyond the student's control.

N.B. Late homework will not be accepted unless it is due to circumstances beyond the student's control. If you must turn in an assignment late, please let me know in advance.
There will be two major exams, each covering two chapters.
The final exam will be comprehensive.
Each student will write two compositions during the semester, each one of 500 words. The topics of these compositions will be specified later.
Almost every Friday during the semester, small groups of students will meet with me for 10-15 minute conversations, during which they will discuss a short story from Lecturas literarias para acompañar Punto y aparte. I will divide the class into two conversation groups, Grupo A and Grupo B. Students will meet with me in pairs.
E. Vocabulary and other quizzes (6%)
Throughout the semester, I will give quizzes on both vocabulary and grammatical structures and forms.
You will be responsible for completing the workbook assignments as indicated in the course outline. If the assignment ends in the middle of a page, complete the page, but hold on to it until you turn it in with the next assignment. You will receive full credit only after you have completed the assignment, checked your answers with another color of ink, and handed in the assignment on time. An answer key is provided at the back of the Manual so that students may check their own work.
It is understood that all students are subject to the rules of conduct set forth in the Austin College academic integrity policy. It is also understood that the instructor reserves the right to modify this syllabus as needed during the semester.
